Definition of an Entrepreneur, DNA for entrepreneurship

Do you have the skills to become your own boss? Is the DNA for entrepreneurship in your blood? What skills do you need to become an entrepreneur? What is the definition of an entrepreneur?

When you want to know the answers to these question, you are starting off on the right foot. When you know the answers to these questions, you are most likely already successful. When you don’t know the answers to these questions and don’t care to know, keep your job by all means! What is the definition of an entrepreneur?

Definition of an entrepreneur

According to the encyclopedia

“Identify the market opportunitiesfor bothexisting and newproducts/services,act accordinglyandtherebydare to take risks. Thegoodandresponsible utilizationof the production factors,labor, capital, and nature.The reward forentrepreneurshipis calledprofit.“

Let’s go down the skills you need to become a successful entrepreneur.

You needperseverance. A never give up mentality. Dealwithany adversity, while keeping thegoalinsight.

3. Ability to adjust

You need the ability to be flexible. When something is not working, you need the ability tochange tactics. We have in Holland the proverb: “Can’t you do it like it should, then you must do it like it can.” This translation deserves probably not the beauty prize 🙂 But I hope you get the meaning. Think of solutions, not in problems.

4. Resilience

When things are not going fluently, you need to keep your enthusiasm. Depression leads to giving up. And that is a road we don’t want to go as an entrepreneurat heart.

5. Inspiration

Not only you need to be inspired, you also need the ability to inspire others. You need to think, talk, do, walk your dream!

You have to be on top of your business. Be alert. Be involved. A lot of enthusiastic starters are busy developing their product. And totally forget about the finances. You need to be on top of every topic of your business. That’s needed to create your masterpiece.

You need the ability to decide. To take action. To take decisive action. In other words. Decide what your goal is, and do what you have to do to reach your goal. You need to be decisive to take the right decisions in the labyrinth of opportunities.

12. Knowledge of the market

You need to have the ability to investigate the market you enter. You need to understandwhatthemarket demandis. You might have an inspirational idea, however, you will not sell much meat in a veggie community. So you need the ability to define for yourself which public you are targeting. And when needed to innovate your product. A targeting strategy.

When you start your own company, you need to have a vision. You need to see what has to be done to reach your goal. A business plan. A future vision is needed to go straight to your goal.

14. Passion

Your enthusiasm, your passion will heat up your public. When you have the ability to talk about your product with warmth and love, people will be more inclined to buy from you. You need to breathe, live, talk, be your product.

You need the ability to motivate yourself. To do also, the chores you don’t like to do with enthusiasm. You need to tell yourself to work, when others are having parties. You have to discipline yourself to come out off bed and work instead of hanging on the couch watching television. Doing things even when you are tired. You have to discipline yourself to follow your own rules. Without self-discipline success is impossible.

You need the ultimate belief in yourself to accomplish success. When you are in constant doubt, you undermine your own success. The word “IMPOSSIBLE” says it all. I’m possible!

18. Be patient

Last but not least, be patient. Success will not come overnight. It just needs time to build a trustworthy organization. Good things take time. When you put in the effort and follow the rules for being a terrific entrepreneur, success will come!

You are a wealth of information! I have been following your blogs and so appreciate the tech saavy tips you offer again and again. I think #16 is what sets people apart. So many think they have all the answers and it would be so much easier to just ask for help. I would add one more to your list – mentorship. Many successful entrepreneurs are available and happy to take you under their wing. Wealthy Affiliate certainly provides that on many levels. Keep up the good work, Loes!

Loessays:

Hi Judy, thank you for your extensive reply. Yes #16 the willingness to learn. Keep youself openminded:) I like your suggestion of mentorship, but then again, in that case you are not only your own boss, but you have employes to mentor. A Jewish saying, when you wish somebody bad luck, is: I wish you a lot of employes! Loes

Emilysays:

hi Loes
wow this is great! So many good qualities to have here. I think that to be an entrepreneur, one has to think outside the box and maybe even stand out a bit in a crowd. If one just wants to think inside the box, then it is not going to work. Creativity, openness, and a lot of work is required. And patience! I have a lot of it but even I sometimes want to give up. But as I have a vision that provides motivation, I keep at it

Loessays:

Hello Emily, keep your eyes pointed towards the horizon. Vision and patience is a very good combination, along with enthusiasm and hard work, you have allready 80% of the skills you need I guess:) Keep on going, greetings Loes

Loessays:

Hi Tony, thank you for your reply, a lot of people don’t realize what’s neccesairy to run your own business, one skill you deffinitelly need to have is perseverance, and sometimes you need a long, long breath, success with your owned business, greetings Loes

leesays:

This post really made me think, I’ve always wanted to think about myself as an entrepreneur, It’s not about the money for me, it’s the freedom that it would bring.I can relate to quite a few of the traits of an entrepreneur that you’ve outline above.
Patience, self belief, discipline, are the ones I can relate to most, but the one that’s holding me back is the first ‘spot a need’. I think this is something I’ve always struggled with and why I’m not successful yet Any tips on finding a gap in the market? Every idea I’ve ever had someone has already filled, how can I compete?

Loessays:

Hi Lee, thank you for your comment, the gap in the market:) everything what annoys you can be that gap. When you are annoyed over something, you have to start thinking, how can this be bettered, what do I need to let this work without me getting upset. That how innovation is born. Success Lee!
